In Part 1 I'll be sharing the process of installing and configuring my new ratgdo32 smart garage door controllers. Paired with Home Assistant, I'm hoping this will finally offer all the smart home features that have been missing from Chamberlain's myQ app.
This is my first real YouTube video. Please be kind. It's not perfect. 😆 I've been wanting to learn more about the process of making video content (planning, scripting, recording, editing, and publishing) and the best way I learn is to actually do a thing. 😬

Home Assistant is a free open source home automation project that runs on pretty much any hardware, or you can purchase pre-assembled hubs to get started, like Home Assistant Green, which is what I did. Learn more about Home Assistant here:
